For 2nd Str ti4,ht
By JIM KARL
Penn State's indoor track
team topped Army, 54-46, at
West Point Saturday and now
the Lions, along with Villa
nova, Manhattan, NYU and
Yale, are being touted as top
threats in the upcoming IC4A
tourney
The win gave State a 2-0 rec
ord with one more dual meet left
Ohio State at Columbus this
Saturday before the eastern
championships March 11.
For the second week in a row
sophomores played a big part
in the Lion victory. The soph3,
who sparkled in the Navy win,
took six out of eight first places
won by State.
Gerry Norman and Bob Gran
tham both scored double vic
tories, Norman's coming in the
mile and two-mile and Gran
tham's in the hurdles and broad
jump. Howie Deardorff won the
1000 for the second straight week
and Ciro Risoldi gained top hon
ors In the pole vault.
Vet,:_srans Bob Brown (60-yard
dash) and Dick Campbell (high
jump) also' finished on top in their
events.
Norman and Herm Weber
both ran a 4:15.7 mile but the
sophomore from Bristol, Eng•
land, was the first to reach the
tape. Norman cut three seconds
Russia's Brumel Apologizes
For Only Tying Indoor Mark
NEW YORK (IP)—Valery Brumel, Russia's whiz-kid high
jumper, was full of apologies yesterday.
"I'm sorry." he told the weekly meeting of the New York
Track Writers Association, "that I didn't do better last Friday
night in the New York Athle
All he did was clear 7 feet, 3
inches, equaling John Thomas'
best indoor jump. This was on his
first appearance on boards before
a large crowd.
'But,; he added, "I hope to do
better this Saturday in the Na
tional AAU championships, I have
been practicing very hard."
Brume], who won't be 19 years
old until April, got off a 7-4 1 / 2
jump less than a month ago in
Leningrad. That's the highest any
one ever has gone. Thomas' of
ficial world record is 7-3 3 4.
"I wanted very much to make
a good impression on my first
appearance here," Brumel added.
"I was very nervous because I
never had competed in a meet
like that before.
"But I wasn't as nervous as I
was in the Olympics."
Why, he was asked, did he or
der the bar to 7-5 after clearing
7-3? Anything over 7-3 would
have constituted an indoor record.
"I wanted to do better than my
jump in Leningrad." he answered.
Now, he has decided, he does
not know how high he can go—
or for that matter anyone else.

Deardorff won the 1000 in

Army turned on the steam to
beat State in the relays. Brown
was timed in 50 seconds flat for
the lead-off leg in the mile relay
with sophomore Ray McAlevv
equalling last week's time of 50.3

Don Davies was clocked in 49.1
for the third leg and George
Metzgar blazed home in 48.6, but
State's time of 3.18 wasn't good
enough to win.
Army came up with four
sub•so second 440's and finished
in .3:16.9 to set a new Academy
and Field House record.
Deardorff, who may have been
a little tired from his fast 1000,
ran a 2:05.8 third leg in the two
mile relay. Steve Moorhead was
timed in 1:46.5 for the anchor leg
but State finished almost nine
seconds behind the Cadet quartet.
Army was clocked in 7:50.6 and

'Cautious' Grapplers
Lose to Orangemen
A little caution is a good
thing sometimes, but Penn
State's grapplers may have
overdone it in their 16-15 loss
to Syracuse in Archbold Gym
nasium Saturday.
That was the opinion of •mat
coach Charlie Speidel as he mused
over his squad's fourth loss in its
last six outings this year.
"You're not supposed to throw
caution to the wind, but our
kids need a little more fire," he
said. "They're not scratching
with their claws. They' don't
have that extra oomph. '
If State wrestlers would have
had that "extra oomph" in any
one of five matches Saturday the
Lions would be 5-3 instead of 4-4.
Dan Johnston and Jerry Seck
ler had to settle for 3-3 draws
and Tony Scordo, John Barone
and Dave Hayes lost one-point
decisions, Hayes losing on a
takedown in the last 25 seconds.
Syracuse had won only two of
six meets before shocking State.
They were trounced by Lehigh,
Pitt and Army and lost to Cor
nell by three points. State beat the
Big Red, 20-9.
Speidel said that Syracuse had
three good wrestlers in Larry
Nealon, Gary Sirota and Howie
Meyer, but that the other Orange
grapplers lacked finesse.
"We're just not charmed this
year," he said with a shake of the
head. "We're just not getting the
edges and the breaks."
Denny Slattery, 123, lost for
the second time in eight outings
when Nealon outscored him, 8-3.
Nealon put the match out of
reach when he scored six points
in the second period.
Scordo went Into the final
period losing, 3-2. He scored four
points on two reversals in the
final stanza but Meyer matched
him with a reversal and two es-

capes for a 7-6 win.
Bob Chappell and Johnston
went into the third period of their
137-pound battle locked in a
scoreless duel. After trading re
versals Chappell escaped but a
point for riding time made the
final score 3-3.
Neil Turner outpointed Fred
Hoffman, 5-2, at 147 to win his
first match of the year. A first
period takedown and a last
period reversal plus a point for
time gave 'Turner his winning
margin.
Sirota got a last period escape
to gain a draw with Seckler. The
Lion co-captain scored his points
in the second period on an escape
and a reversal.
Ron Pifer moved to 167 and
decisioned Don Dunning, 6-1, for
his sixth win against two losses.
Pifer's victory knotted the score
at 10-10, but one-point decisions
